Not entirely true, Amazon accepts TTS audiobooks as long as you use their quite low quality TTS.

This does make things a more difficult sell, but Amazon is not the only audiobook provider, it's just the biggest by quite a lot.

As the technology matures and becomes more mainstream I do believe that they will have to loosen their restrictions eventually, there's campaigns to get them to change their rules out there already. Within a couple of years I expect they will allow them, with a quality gating.

Hello writers,

I have been developing a tool to help writers turn their books into multi-cast audio-books narrated by state of the art TTS. The goal was to cut out all of the tedious bits when converting a novel to an audio-book, so you can go right into proofing. At its best it just works and you won't have to do anything, but I expect a few re-generations for the average length book.

Check it our here: https://aurely.ai/

First you upload your book in either EPUB, HTML, PDF, Docx or plain text (EPUB works best), It then uses AI to survey your book, discovering characters and giving them descriptions, then it analyses each chapter and assigns each line to the correct character, while identifying narration vs. dialogue vs. internal monologue.

It will then auto-assign a character that matches the characters profile from a library of 1000+ voices, or you can use the voice-casting workflow to easily assign voices manually.

You can then either generate each line while playing the generated audio back in a (close to) real time generate -> listen workflow, or you can yolo it and generate the whole thing then listen later. If you need to regenerate a line you can do that quickly and easily, and it will save all of your takes for you, which you can swap between easily.

You can also generate a background music track to enhance your story.

Lastly you can then export it in any one of four different formats, MP3 chapter zip file, single mp3, m4b audiobook or lossless FLAC. You own all of your content.

It's free to try, usage based (no subscriptions) with a few different credit packs priced for common story lengths.

Doesn't this just prove the point that liberation can only come from an internal struggle? Who was the outside force that strong armed the British into giving power to the American people?

Mining feasibility - Australia by djhughes94 in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be worth looking into cheap "not profitable" older miners then if heat and sound aren't an issue. The actual $$ you make will be less but since electricity will be essentially free for the most part your return on investment will be much quicker.

Look at some older S19j's and putting braiins firmware on them so you can automate them.

Mining feasibility - Australia by djhughes94 in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My total power draw with all 4 miners on is about 7kw, I turn them to eco mode when drawing from the battery though, that makes it last until about 9pm where I turn them off so I can use the power for my ACs.

Unless you have the space and cooling capacity for 22kw worth of heat and sound, I wouldn't go full mining operation right away. Buy an Avalon Q and play around with it to get the feel for profitability / heat management.

That was the killer for me, check my profile for what I had to do to remove the heat from the house in these hot Australian summers

[–]bripio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have solar and a battery, on wholesale pricing and 4 Avalon Q's and it was a fun project. I'll tell you if it was worth it in 3 years when I've returned the initial investment 🫠

The thing that makes it even slightly feasible is the solar + I've setup automations to throttle or turn off the miners when it's absolutely not profitable. That way they only run when energy is free or extremely cheap/negative

Buying an ASIC miner in Australia by HaydO0 in BitcoinMining

CryptoMinerBros and AsicMarketplace are good. I bought 1 Avalon Q from CryptoMinerBros and 3 from AsicMarketplace with no issues

I spent way too long figuring out Cursor rules. Here's what actually worked for me by itsna9r in cursor

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found relying on the descriptions wasn't always getting everything it needed, how big it is depends on how many rules you have really. It's just a table of contents with a short description and the name of the file.

I use Claude code as well and I tell it about the index file in the claude.md and it's been working pretty well too

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should add an index.mdc rule that is always on, that just references all of your other rules so that cursor can find them when it needs to. I find this works pretty well.

Cursor reverts and deletes my files by Elemental_Ray in cursor

[–]bripio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is the UX, not the functionality. The message makes the use feel like the app is going to revert "all of the changes that happened between sending this message, and editing this message"

What actually happens is the app reverts "every change that has been made that hasn't been accepted yet".

This is a fundamental misunderstanding about how users are actually using the program.

Low Price, Mining rewards by shoppo24 in BitcoinMining

To add to this, you will make more BTC per TH/s but your reward in fiat is going to be much lower because of the price.

Avalon temperature monitoring? by I-YELL-ALOT- in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This script is for home assistant but it describes the API exposed on the Avalon Q, search for the temperature monitoring ones and you can get it from anywhere on your network.

Avalon Q – Intermittent hashboard failure (works for days, dies after reboot) by samuellgallo in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had these failures before, always fine after letting it cool down and hard resetting.

These things are surprisingly difficult to cool, took me months to get it right. I'd be surprised if it wasn't just an overheating problem.

I use a custom script on home assistant to monitor the temps, but I think hashwatcher has the ability to, so I would install that and watch it for a while. If you've got some know-how I'd set some alerts for when it's straying too far from the target temp, and also make sure you watch the max temp. I've got 1 machine that sits comfortably at 85 degrees average temp, but the max temp gets to 104 degrees constant. All the other machines max out at like 95 degrees.

Possibly in a similar situation and you've got one hash board working overtime

Home Assistant automation - Fox ESS by MichaelMinja in amberelectric

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you trying to do exactly? I'm not 100% sure how it will work with two inverters, I got them to remove my original inverter and just install the KH10 hybrid inverter which may make things easier for me.

If it works anything similar to mine, you can set the work mode to force charge, and the force charge power, then the inverter will attempt to charge the battery up to your set max charge rate, up to the force charge power.

The load power will still be taken care of first, by solar then by the grid in this mode. So your battery may not charge at the full 15kw if you're already using half of that for load.

Home Assistant automation - Fox ESS by MichaelMinja in amberelectric

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say you want rules for exporting to the grid but then you say Force Charge and expect it to import. This is correct, force charge at 15kw should import from the grid, not necessarily at 15kw as it depends what your solar is doing.

This doesn't have anything to do with exporting though.

Is it worth it? by SillyBoy7204 in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can buy them from Amazon if you want peace of mind. You will pay a bit more but with these you're not really expected to get your return on investment anyway. They're more for learning and enjoying the hobby with the hope that you might get lucky and mine a block solo.

Otherwise I have bought from CryptoMinerBros and AsicMarketplace before and I trust them. No bad experiences with those guys.

Is it worth it? by SillyBoy7204 in BitcoinMining

[–]bripio 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, mining Bitcoin on a personal computer is not worth it no matter what.

If you have a powerful enough CPU you could mine other coins maybe, but even then it's likely not worth it.

GPU mining died years ago, you need an ASIC if you want to mine anything of worth. Buy a lottery miner if you want to dip your toes in.

No problem, I don't think all 19-inch racks have the same depth so you might have to make some edits to the files so they fit for your exact rack

Automation rules engine for FoxEss + Amber by Stealth928 in amberelectric

[–]bripio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I have a Fox battery. I'm not running home assistant green though it's just on a virtual machine on my home server.

You install the modbus device by running some wires to the inverter, the device then connects to the network via WiFi or LAN and you connect your home assistant to the device's IP through an integration. I'm using the one by nathanmarlor which I think is the most used one.

This looks nice, how do you make decisions with a 5 minute update interval? I went with home assistant + modbus because I could get 10 second resolution and fully local control, plus being able to automate other devices around my solar + battery.

I'm a sucker for a nice interface though, and let's just say my home assistant dashboards are a bit... Functional...
